THE CONGRESS: Line-up for 1935

With election returns all counted, the line-up of the 74th Congress
which first sits Jan. 3 definitely emerged last week. Party strengths
in the next House:

Democrats 322

Republicans 103

Progressives 7

Farmer-Laborites 3

Instead of losing seats, the Democrats had made a gain of 13,
practically all from one place. In the country-at-large they traded a
seat or two here for a seat or two there with Republicans but in
rock-ribbed Pennsylvania scored a one-sided sweep. The eleven seats gained
in Pennsylvania were the gist of the election.
